Men SHOULD Hit Women

[Lopezz1999]

Born and raised by two great parents, I was raised to the following guidelines that men should never hit women under any circumstances, and that is something that I will always follow. In the circumstances where there was an aggravated woman attacking an unprovoked man, he could easily just move and walk away, or was easily capable of grabbing her wrists, catching her fists, or subduing her to get her to stop, preventing him from hitting her, which is also acceptable, except for the fact that she is responsible for her own self, and so the guy should not care about her well being, if she can't control her own. Actions have consequences, and the risk of being hit is one of them.

Domestic violence against men is unfortunately a much more serious and underlying issue, and although women are many victims of abusive relationships with their partners, this issue is taken much less seriously to men in society. One of the reasons why this is an issue, is because of the bullshit double standard that men should never hit any woman under any circumstances, believing that women are weak creatures needing constant physical protection (which is another double standard), and men are strong enough to always push a woman away, tolerating her hit, but this is only letting others know that violence will be tolerated. In order to stop this, men must hit back, and here's why.

Respect

A woman will not respect a guy that will tolerate anyone punching them, especially to those who punch. Similar to how nice guys or bullies work, you are letting the bully walk all over you or the girl you're buying gifts for drain you of your money. Same rules apply here.

It will be the last time she hits you, or anyone else

As soon as you let her know that her violence against you will never be tolerated by you, she will think before hitting you the next time. She knows that you're serious, and because no one wants to get hit, she won't hit you, unprovoked ever again.

It'll teach her that violence will not be tolerated

Actions have consequences in life, and a man certainly won't get away with hitting another man. A would deserve the same consequences, and unless she expects to be hit back, she will not hit others first.

Your Own Self Worth

And finally, by standing up to yourself, you are proving that you will never take any violence from anyone else without some form of retaliation. They must know that you're respectful, honorable, and does not deserve to be hit under most circumstances, and I'm sure you'd feel better after it happens.

That being said, these are the women that hit men, expecting nothing back in return basically only because she's a woman, physically inferior to the person she's hitting, or for the double standard that men in general should never hit women. Hitting another woman or a man hitting another man will result badly, and it would be no different in this case. The more women that realize that their violence will never be tolerated by men, the sooner the problem with male domestic violence will nullify. Just because something is bigger or stronger than you, it doesn't mean that it should withstand the pain you inflicted because you're physically inferior, a woman, or any other excuse. Again, all actions have consequences, and bad actions SHOULD have equal consequences.

[Midget_Hug]

This was clearly written by someone who has never studied the dynamics of physical abuse. They don't give a fuck. I mean in domestically violent relationships involving female on male violence there's a whole plethora of issues and "Respect" is definitely not something so simply earned.

An abused man hits a woman back and what happens? Woman calls the cops! He's locked up! In real life it isn't some cut and dry deal because she will hit him again and he knows, KNOWS the justice system won't take his side! Especially if he's stronger. His respect actually goes down from the victim.

All it teaches is that the roles are enforceable by law. That's why do many women get away with domestic violence; while women are simply known to hit men more it turns out menAre more likely to maim or kill their partners in domestic scuffles so it isn't as if it ever turns out the way it is supposed to.

Then every moron possible says "No one should hit anyone!" as if that's a solution to violence. No. Fucking. Shit. Are you daft? That's not a solution to dealing with reality that's avoidance of reality!

Posses me off because you have a real world problem with actual data and plenty of research and the general public is so fucking Ostrich that their answer is "well it shouldn't happen!" as of that's an actual answer to the problem!

This is why you don't leave problems to the general population! Tons of data and they don't fucking do anything with it! The department of justice produces an annual report that's PUBLIC on the topic and yet layman think that their empty headed "Well just don't do it" thoughts make sense?

What the flying fuck is wrong with all of you? Come up with real solutions to real problems!

You want to end domestic violence? End the stigma that men can't be victims. The real social stigma not your logical "oh, but it can happen!", the stigma that womenare weak enough to be allowed this, the stigma of "he deserved it", the end of the fear for men to seek help, or the end of the lie that men are superaggressors!

But no. The response? "Just don't do it. I'm a genius!" You're a fucking moron. You don't solve problems you propagate them through inaction you mentally lazy fuck.

[Lopezz1999]

It was written by someone who was pretty quick to get posted. I completely left out the justice system and women favoring society, yet posted this mytake. Though what you say is on point.

[Midget_Hug]

Don't mind me anyway. I'm a bear in the morning. 😄

Sorry about that honesty. I'll keep it under wraps and avoid forums in the middle of the night. 😵

[Lopezz1999]

Nah it's fine lol. I pretty much deserve this, since I know I wrote it pretty badly myself. Like I said, I didn't include the crappy justice system, and I didn't make myself clear to the women that female abusers should be hit back. All it was is a taste of reality 👍🏽

[Midget_Hug]

Thanksfor pardoning my bad behavior

[Anonymous]

I hit a guy when he was trying to convince and pull my shirt up. So I punched him and he picked me up and slammed me on my sidewalk, onto my back. I had a pinched nerve, four fused lumbars and my hips were offline. I couldn't walk for 3 weeks. I was bullied severely called a fake and guys thought it was funny to undo my bra in the hall. My principle wouldn't do anything so I dropped out in 7th grade. I still have problems and I'm limited to what I can do. Even though I'm a little disabled for defending myself and body, I'd still do it. No one should touch me without my permission. I know your talking different domestic violence. Sometimes I think their is a reason for it.

[Lopezz1999]

Oh I agree, and I'm really sorry this happened to you. I know that abusive men will stop at nothing once you hit them, so I actually think it's better to subdue him with a kick in the balls instead. But yes, everyone deserves their right to self defense.

[Opinion Owner]

Thank you. Im still healing day by day. I should have kicked him in the balls because that probably would have saved my back but i just wasn't think. I was trying to protect myself. But thank you.

[Bleh-___-]

You wrote this with the idea that if a woman punches a man, he can punch her once back and she'll be put back in her place. Sounds lovely in theory but in practice this will lead to a brawl.
It's not even a gender issue, it's a general issue of how to deal with violence. If you're in need of self-defense, by all means punch your partner in the face and bolt.
But if your life isn't in danger? Dude leave the person. Why are you tolerating this bs and staying? Even if you tell them that this will not be tolerated, just by giving them another chance and staying you're reinforcing their behavior.

[Lopezz1999]

Oh no, I mean if the man were to face aggression against someone else, calling for self defense tactic. I've seen plenty of men who were able to walk away peacefully, however the woman would pursue. It's more of a last resort kind of thing, and even though I agree that two wrongs don't make a right, I don't believe that violence should ever be unjustified either.

[Bleh-___-]

Solid response 👍

[Lopezz1999]

👍🏽👍🏽

[Anonymous]

Men must not hit women. Women must not hit men. As simple as that. If someone hits another person, just walk away and tell the authorities. I know they aren't always fair especially if the aggression is from a woman to a man, but the topic should be treated against violence of any kind, not for it.

[Lopezz1999]

Yes. I agree, except this isn't aggravated violence such as abuse like I was referring to. I'm not going to hit someone for hitting me.

[raspberry0416]

This doesn't make sense. If a man hit me, I would run away immediately, not hit him back.
Similarly, if a woman hits you, you should also leave. If you hit back you risk either seriously injuring her (because you are physically stronger), or you risk getting seriously injured yourself if she happens to be very skilled and strong. Standing your ground and hitting her back doesn't solve anything.
God forbid you enrage her so much that she pulls a weapon on you.

[Lopezz1999]

Under these circumstances where a man can effortlessly escape, men shouldn't hit women. In the circumstances that a man can escape with an aggravated woman following him, continuing her aggressive pursuit, men should. lol and god forbid me from letting that happen.

[BlueEyesWD]

No one should hit anyone... this is absurd in so many ways... sure a slap to wake them up is acceptable but punching them is something a drunkard would have done because it never ends with just a punch. If you can punch you are capable for more violence.

[Lopezz1999]

Now although I agree with this, I don't happen to be talking about women who made a punch just because. I'm talking about aggressive, abusive women, similar to abusive men, who will stop at nothing. They'll need to be stopped somehow, and a male is less likely to be more forgiving, if he's infuriated with the punches he had already received.

[BlueEyesWD]

I was not talking about women punching men, I was talking about both, I am not separating them since they usually behave the same.

[Lopezz1999]

I know, and once again.. I agree that no one should hit anyone, but it happens.

[Watermelon15]

I think that if a woman starts hitting a man, he should not only legally but also ethically be allowed to hit back. It's self-defence. If a woman can hit a man, a man can also hit a woman. It's the same kind of bad, the only reason why people think less of when men are hit, is probably because women dont tend to hit as hard as men, or maybe because men could hold their wrists or something. I really agree that there should be more focus on abusiveness towards men too.

[Midget_Hug]

And do tell what school of ethics specifically prevents men from hitting women?

[Watermelon15]

@Midget_Hug I mean like it's highly frowned upon when a man hits a woman, even in selfdefense - but when a woman hits a man it's like meh. And I really think it shouldn't be that way

[Midget_Hug]

Morals aren't ethics. Nevermind.

[Watermelon15]

@Midget_Hug

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ethic

it pretty much is

[Midget_Hug]

https://www.iep.utm.edu/ethics/

No. However it doesn't matter, You went and got a general dictionary because you don't know any better. That's like saying a random fact book about cats is the same as a veterinary textbook on cats because they are "both about cats".

[Watermelon15]

@Midget_Hug Lol morally or ethically is almost the same thing - you can switch my 'ethically' with 'morally' if it makes you feel any better. Like I dont care, it wasn't even the point of all of it.

[Midget_Hug]

You've no idea what you're talking about and your main point was heavily inaccurate. Running trend.

[Watermelon15]

@Midget_Hug My main point was that men should be able to have the same moral/ethical right as women. You should be able to hit back if someone hits you, regarding of your gender. Im defending your gender here actually. And all you can say is 'you dont know what you're talking about' - like lol that sounds so unintelligent

[Midget_Hug]

I'm aware of what you tried to say. You're just not good at conveying things.

And you're not defending me. I'd be in jail if you were my lawyer.

"Well everyone should be alright with hitting everyone else excessive force be damned!"

You'd make headlines. Your world sounds so easy to live in, so black and white.

[Watermelon15]

@Midget_Hug Obviously I'd rather have that no one would hit anyone. We shouldn't treat violence with violence, but Im just saying that people should stop thinking a woman has more of a right to hit a man than the other way around. Neither have any right to hit the other. If a woman starts hitting a man, I dont see the problem in him hitting back, if it's self defense.

[Midget_Hug]

Life's more complicated. A child hits an adult and you turn on your own logic. There's much to consider when dealing with human violence. For instance the woman is a waif and the man is a professional boxer; she hits him in frustration and he decks her. Explain how this works.

Is the right his? Is her intent really malicious and premeditated? What if the source of her frustration is valid such as his spending all the money on something stupid? Is her reaction optimal? No. But it's it truly beyondunderstanding? No. So then her "crime of passion" is met with what must be deliberate force from someone who is excessively stronger.

You would lose the court case immediately with "self defense". There is no impending threat. Such is lunacy. In fact his striking her at all when trained to take body blows would be excessive force.

Much to consider. . .

[Watermelon15]

@Midget_Hug Why do you keep referring to this 'court room' when I just wanna have a relaxed conversation? My opinion is that IF a woman starts to hit a man, she should know that he has the rigth to hit back. I PERSONALLY dont find it fair if the woman can just hit a tall man because it won't harm him. Its always better not to hit back, but I still think that if a woman hits a man she should know what she is getting into

[Midget_Hug]

Simply put:

What you call "relaxed conversation" is just lazy thinking. When you pose opinions that are divorced from reality you do yourself a major disservice; people actually begin to think that the bilateral solutions they come up with solve problems.

But actually if you hadn't brought up ethics I'd have never paid you mind. 😄 Unlucky you and your inability to properly express your ideas.

[Midget_Hug]

Bottom line: You want to claim you're "defending a gender" you better think long and hard about it. So some research. Find the real problems. Otherwise you're hurting everyone. Anyway, enough of this old man.

Later

[Watermelon15]

@Midget_Hug Why is it, that you get offended for me using the word 'ethics' instead of 'morals' even though every dictionary describes 'ethics' with the word 'morals' - How is it, that you get so out of your mind and try to win a discussion you are kind of having with yourself. You keep thinking I want to be a lawyer in a court room and that im losing, but I'm really just expressing my opinions. You say you wouldn't even have bothered to start proving me wrong if I hadn't said 'ethics' but we both know you are holding some grudges over that 'degrading minor´s' myTake of mine. You are very agressive right now and try to use everything you've got from the courtroom on me saying it was wrong to use 'ethics' even though dictionaries say it's correct, all you say is 'no cause the dictionaries aren't right'. I dont wanna have a discussion with someone passive aggressive in their expression who will do anything to prove a person they don't like wrong, and try to make everything a competition

[CubsterShura]

A woman who hit you forget men's respect. You can't lose your own respect for women and hit her back, then what will be the difference between you two?

[Lopezz1999]

Right, however I'm only referring to aggressive, abusive woman who will stop at nothing. I don't want men to feel like they should never be able to defend themselves under these circumstances. He doesn't stoop to her level by hitting an abuser.

[CubsterShura]

Honey you don't call that beating you call that self-defence. There's a difference.

[Lopezz1999]

Well of course lol. I never used beating.. I tried to make myself clear that a man could hit an aggressive, abusive woman back, but execution needs some work.

[1truekhaleesi]

Or we don't hit anybody. My god, I'm such a problem solver.

[Lopezz1999]

I wish I could say that to male/female abusers lol

[John_Doesnt]

The same could be said of a child or a disabled person, a person in a wheelchair could kick your ass.
You're a wuss or just plain stupid if you think more violence is the answer to violence. Being a man is about being BETTER than the woman by not responding in the same childish manner she does.

[Leandri]

My aunt's husband used to hit her and one day she just got fed up and punched him back. He never tried that again. Abusers mostly prey on who they see as weak and when you prove to them that you are anything but, they will learn to back away

[Lopezz1999]

Awesome!

[AOD14]

A man hitting a woman is never justifiable. If a woman hits a man, worse-case scenario, he gets a swollen lip or a black-eye. If a man hits a woman full-force there’s a good chance she’s gonna end up in the ER or dead… If a woman attacks you, you can restrain her until she calms down. You don’t need to lay her out with a full-force uppercut.

[Lopezz1999]

Oh, I'm not promoting men to hit women just because.. I wish that men would hit violent, abusive women back. Domestic violence is a problem in the US, and many men are allowing women to beat on them, which isn't right. Now just a simple hit, no I'd rather not the man hit back.

[Summer90]

Complete garbage. Do your homework. I could list numerous facts and stats to disprove many of your ideals. Simply put, two wrongs do not make a right.

Male or female, nobody should put their hands on anyone in anger.

Ps - domestic violence is 90% against women. Doesn't mean it doesn't happen to men but you need to read more.

[Lopezz1999]

I'll admit, this isn't very well written. Though, this isn't something I would post if I hadn't studied well. You say that domestic violence (statistically speaking perhaps) is 90% against women?

[alice55]

Nobody should hit the others. I really don't understand why men want the right to hit women. Why don't you fight for the right to not being hit?

[Lopezz1999]

Nah, I'm referring to abusive, aggressive women only.

[alice55]

I know. But there's still no point to hit them, it's stupid. Go to the police.

[CorruptedDocument]

you better have some damning evidence or you will be written off as lying by the police.

[alice55]

@CorruptedDocument when you get hit, you go to the doctor and we ll give you a certificat you'll give to the police as clue.

[CorruptedDocument]

I get the feeling you don't get out much

[alice55]

@CorruptedDocument So, just that my country is much better with domestic violence than your one.

[CorruptedDocument]

Get a taste of america, women get to do as they please for the most part here, contrary to popular belief

[alice55]

@CorruptedDocument My country is still a patriarchy. Even though we're a western country we're far from being similar to America.
You can compare the American women to the Nordic one but in my country we're much more different.

[CorruptedDocument]

one of the positives for france

[alice55]

@CorruptedDocument And we've a lot less obese than America, French people are the skinnier of all European country.

[CorruptedDocument]

terrible English is terrible

[Jemini_Crocket]

Self-defending yourself in some right manner = understandable but hitting each other, hitting women on purpose? Nah.

[Lopezz1999]

Right. That's what this take is about.

[Prof_Don]

If a woman hits me, trust me I will retaliate physically someway somehow. I wouldn't punch her unless she had a weapon, but I would definitely would push the shit out of her.

[TheSniper]

Self-defense is always justified. Gender doesn't matter.

[dolemite68]

If a woman hits u, get it on video and call the cops on her don't hit her back

[Anonymous]

Good take. It would be sexist not to hit back. Sometimes bitches need to taste some equality.

[CT_CD]

I agree. I punch women all the time
